Re: 6/27 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

Tonight's episode was good for only one reason - to see five chefs who were indeed all-stars, but particularly Rock (has had long term - at least relatively - success post show), Dave (I mean - he won his season with a messed up wrist), and Christina (one of the few who actually got to close if not the actual promised job at the restaurant). Nona was good her year, and the most recent winner... well I'll be fair I didn't see his season and honestly, it sounds like he was a jerk.

And boy - Rock and Dave in particular have cleaned up nicely over the years. Nona and Christina also looked lovely.

This season's group overall stinks in comparison. I don't think it was quite as close as claimed.

Re: 6/27 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

From what I checked, Nona still works in the very restaurant she was promised to work at by Ramsay when winning the show. Paul there did seem jerkish tonight, which is odd because he was a nice enough guy in his own season. Rock I saw not long ago in that Food Network show, Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell, and he won the episode he appeared in and got a job at a good restaurant.

I'm quite surprised people think these current guys are so terrible. I have seen every season of Hell's Kitchen, and if we don't count Susan here, we have Ja'Nel, Jon, Cyndi and Mary, who I find to be four of the strongest, most skilled cooks ever seen in this show. One would think they'd be competing in Top Chef, not in Hell's Kitchen. Then again, Top Chef has been terrible for several seasons now, so...

Re: 6/27 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

I agree Rembrant. Usually, there are one or two decent cooks and the rest are a total mess. Susan, on another season, would have made top two. I think Hell's Kitchen is actually cleaning up it's act a little by having 4 really good cooks and one that is decent in the top five. I would like to see the show continue on this path and have at least half great cooks and the other half there for entertainment value, rather than the majority of the cast being there for entertainment like they've done in the past.

I was happy to see two of my favourite past Hell's Kitchen winners return: Christina and Dave. Why exactly was Christina avoiding Dave? He's cleaned up nicely.

Re: 6/27 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

Wow, I thought Dave looked like a wreck...the bags under his eyes were like water balloons and he acted spacey. Nona is thinner, yeah, but she was jittery and...well, don't want to throw accusations around.

I really hate when there's no elimination. It's dissatisfying. Obviously there will only be one winner, it's pointless to drag it out even if there's two boots next week.
